Add and Manage Models
You can create a list of the commercial Dell device models that you manage for your enterprise. Later, when creating a custom
update catalog, your list of model names displays. You can select one or more model names to include for each update catalog.
Plan descriptive names for models
Typically, an enterprise has more than one commercial Dell device model based on technical needs or requirements of users or
user groups. A best practice is to plan a descriptive name for each model since multiple IT administrators may select from these
model names to create a catalog.
Each model name must be unique with a maximum of fifty characters. Here are some examples:
● Name the model after the user group of that model, such as accounting, security, knowledge workers, sales, corporate
employees, executives, support, design team, or IT administrator.
● If applicable, name the model based on location, for example, remote workers, field employees, or region one sales.
● If your enterprise upgrades to a newer version of a model, you can archive the catalog that contained that previous version.
However, do not delete the older version of the model. For example, if you applied the model name, Accounting group, to a
Latitude model but you want to update the drivers, decide if an archived version of the catalog will reference the previous
model. Add another model and rename it, for example, Accounting group - updated drivers. See Delete a model.
